JJJack Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Price drop to £700 Reluctantly my Jazz for sale. Colour Ivory (549) R/W fretboard Serial No. E302014 The previous owner has undertaken some modifications such as replacing the one piece scratchplate and replacing the pickups with EMGs ( small area routed under scratchplate). I subsequently changed the pickups to Bartolinis which I prefer. Bridge is fender but not original 1983. I bought this bass in ~1990 and think I am the third owner from new. Minor dings on the lower edges of the body but no buckle rash. Neck clean. Good condition for a 30 year old. Plays and sounds great. I don't have scales but it feels quite light to me compared to my other Fender (precision '72) I have read on this site that these basses are highly regarded but sadly it's got to go.

JJJack Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 Anyone? If you think I'm way off bass on price please let me know. (Pun intended) 'Tis a lovely bass
petergales Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I have an 83 Jazz in Ivory, too, and it's a cracking bass! It's got 70's pick up spacing that gives it that distinctive sound. I paid a lot more for mine. Good luck with the sale!
JJJack Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Cheers petergales, I have enjoyed owning it but needs must...
JJJack Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Oh dear Is no one interested? Maybe I'm making a mistake in my sales pitch. Constructive criticism most welcome. It's a lovely bass! Jack
JJJack Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 Price drop £800 ono Have now been made redundant (honestly!) Only 8 more working days to unemployment. Jack
JJJack Posted July 30, 2014 Author Posted July 30, 2014 Bump Last day at work tomorrow, then redundant after 14 years. I'm no longer a newbie! Satisfaction guaranteed. Have bought and traded on here before and come from a good, wholesome family! Jack
Geek99 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 If I had £750 spare .... Free bump on me mister...
Hutton Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 A 1983 USA Standard Jazz for £750 is a great price. Without the mods £900, or even a bit more, would have been a spot on price. This is a great buy for someone. BTW from what publication is the page on early 80s USA Standard basses?
JJJack Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Hutton it's from the Fender Bass by Klaus Blasquiz. ISBN 0-7935-0757-X. I honestly thought the bass would be snapped up quickly but I guess austerity UK affects us all. Jack
timtims96 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Would you be up for trading for a Lakland Skyline Daryl Jones 5?
JJJack Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Timtims No guitar trades, I must offload basses. (This must seem like sacrilege but I'm in a financial/job pickle). Jack
ead Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Just a thought, but it might be helpful to say where you are based for BCers wanting to try the bass out. Not uninterested myself tbh.
JJJack Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks for the tip Ead, I live in Dorset and would be happy to drive ~2 hours if someone is interested. I do believe that you should try before you buy. Jack
JJJack Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 No sound samples available. Sounds good to me though. Especially if someone who actually can play gets on it!
